Just got off the phone from trying to make a couple of "last-minute" dining plans. You know...it takes me back to college days...I would go into the book stores at least a week before classes started and buy all of my books based on what the bookstores said we needed. Seriously...when I started, I'd go after getting book lists from my instructors and wind up spending an hour or longer in line. So I'd buy early and think I'd missed out on the lines and waits...and there was always ONE book that was on the syllabus that wasn't on the shelf in the bookstore.
So, at the 90 day mark, I'd plotted and planned and made my ADRS. Then I thought some more...I had 3 days of no ressies whatsoever. I finally made some decisions...then just didn't feel like calling until tonight...and they just did answer before I decided I'd waited long enough ("less than 8 minutes" became 16 minutes!)
I asked for a table for 2 at Akershus...and I KNOW I should have said "what about a table for 3?" But I didn't. At Epcot on the 21st they have Marrakesh and Biergarten...Biergarten on the 22nd...and Biergarten on the 23rd. Not what I wanted in any case.
I did get the Yak and Yeti, though.
My ADRs:
June 20: Boatwright's
June 23: Yak & Yeti
June 24 (my birthday!): Le Cellier & Garden Grill (just something about the idea of a rotating restaurant....)
June 25 (DD's birthday!): Crystal Palace & CRT (that second one is at her request)
June 26: Chef Mickey's & Tony's Town Square
Of the stuff we really, really wanted/had to have...we've got those.
Now...to start the list of things I need to get and what needs to be packed. Sure...I said I'd try to get to it this weekend, but, realistically...I know it won't be possible until after NEXT weekend. DD's dance class on Thursday night, dress rehearsal for the dance recital at 4 on Friday, then preschool graduation ceremony promptly at 6...DB's wedding on Saturday...and DD's recital on Sunday. Too much!
26 more days to go!
